The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo
State raised the alarm that Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha has
allegedly imported suspected Boko Haram members into the state with the
aim of eliminating his political opponents and causing breakdown of law
and order.
George Egu, PDP Secretary in Imo State, made this statement at a press conference in Owerri on January 21, 2014, Tuesday.
He claimed that three truck-loads of young men arrived to the capital
city of Imo state on January 15 and were kept at the premises of the
Imo College of Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS).
“Our party has facts to believe that these men confessed to be
Muslims from the Northern states of Kaduna, Kano and Kastina and were
about 30 in number”, PDP Secretary said.
Mr. Egu expressed concern that the alleged Boko Haram members have
been brought to the state in less than 24 hours before the arrival of
the Governor from the United States.
The PDP also expressed fear that the presence of the suspected
fundamentalists is “targeted at known political opponents of the state
government and breaching the peace”.
Therefore, Mr. Egu urged the police and other security agencies in the state to be on alert.
However, a spokesperson to Governor Okorocha, Mr. Sam Onwuemedu, debunked all the allegations, describing them as false.
He said it was ridiculous for members of the PDP to claim that they
saw Boko Haram members and did not arrest or report them to the police:
“The Federal Government is looking for Boko Haram suspects and if
members of the PDP have seen them, they should alert the Government.”
